After promising delivery in August, they are now talking about actually having working cards in mid-November. SDL will then (?) begin developing NT and Linux drivers. BSDI will apparently begin work on a BSD/OS driver in November or later. SDL sales now expresses reluctance to sell the card to ISPs, saying that it is really intended for the OEM market. There is a suggestion that the product might really be ready in January, which suggests to me 2Q97 ... Very discouraging. We are looking for another vendor. They have not said a word about a FreeBSD driver. -- Jim Dixon VBCnet GB Ltd +44 117 929 1316 fax +44 117 927 2015 http://www.uk.vbc.net VBCnet West +1 408 971 2682 fax +1 408 971 2684
